What Is A Stair-Based Exercise Program?

A stair exercise program is one that makes use of the steps or stairs in our immediate environment as an exercise tool to help us improve our aerobic fitness, boost our body's calorie-burning capacity, and to increase our lower body muscular power and endurance.

Since climbing stairs/steps is one of the most fundamental and essential skills needed for independent living and mobility, stair-based workouts are now widely incorporated as crucial and critical components into most older adult/senior fitness programs.

Also, as stairs/steps are ever-present in our urban landscapes and can be found practically in any home, office building, residential area or public space, their sheer accessibility and convenience make them terrific tools for everyday fitness workouts!

Why Do We Need To Do Stair-Based Exercises?

Research has shown that as we age, ALL of us will experience some degree of loss in overall muscular strength, joint mobility, coordination, balance and overall function.

As such, many of us may face increasing difficulties in navigating steps and stairs in our daily lives as the years gradually catch-up with us.

In order NOT to lose our independence and ability to climb up or to go down stairs as we grow older, we consciously need focused training in the area of stairway negotiation and ambulation to keep this vital skill alive and intact.

Through a range of scientifically-designed stair-based exercises - together with their numerous variations, derivatives and secondary conditioning drills - not only can we maintain and improve our stair-climbing capabilities, in the process, we can also help to develop all-round fitness, athleticism and well-being for ourselves.

All these, in turn, will translate to better performance in our day-to-day physical activities and a higher quality of life.
